In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Kacia Ghetmiri, host of the empowerHER podcast, a mom and wife, speaker, real estate agent, investor, and serial entrepreneur, for an honest, grounding conversation about what happens when success, identity, and ambition shift after becoming a mother. We talk about the quiet (and not-so-quiet) identity unraveling that can happen in this season, the pressure to “bounce back,” and the permission required to redefine success on your own terms - not based on who you were before or what anyone else is doing online. This episode is for you if you’re navigating a pivot, feeling disconnected from old goals, or craving a more sustainable, self-trusting version of success in this next chapter.

Here’s what we explore together in this conversation:

1. The behind-the-scenes decision to pause and pivot away from a multiple–seven-figure brand, and how Kacia navigated fear, intuition, and outside opinions
2. How to trust yourself when you know something no longer fits, even when you don’t yet have clarity on what’s next
3. The identity shifts that happen when motherhood meets entrepreneurship
4. Releasing comparison — both to past versions of yourself and to other women in different seasons
5. How to identify the season you’re in, own your capacity, and stop forcing yourself to want what no longer feels true
6. What Kacia’s current season looks like now, what she’s doing differently this time, and how joy and fun have become her compass

If you’re an entrepreneur, a mom, or a woman navigating a season of change — questioning what you want, how you want to work, or what success really means to you now — this conversation will meet you right where you are.

HAPPY 2026! In the spirit of the new year, we’re getting into the real science behind self-trust. Not the fluffy “just believe in yourself” kind, but what actually makes someone follow through on big goals, bold visions, and the life they say they want. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of getting excited, setting intentions, and then ghosting your own goals… This conversation is for you. I’m breaking down how self-trust is built (and rebuilt), why motivation isn’t the problem, and how identity, nervous system safety, and consistency all play a role in becoming someone who actually does the thing - especially as we head into 2026.

Here’s what we get into in this episode:

1. What self-trust actually is from a neuroscience + identity perspective
2. Why breaking promises to yourself erodes confidence faster than failure ever will
3. The connection between nervous system regulation and following through on goals
4. How to stop overplanning and start building evidence that you’re someone who shows up
5. Why small, aligned actions matter more than big, dramatic resets
6. The identity shift required to hold bigger goals without self-sabotage
7. How to rebuild trust with yourself after a year of burnout, inconsistency, or overwhelm

This episode is equal parts grounding and activating. It’s meant to help you walk into 2026 feeling steady, self-led, and deeply anchored in your ability to create what you want. And if this lands for you, come tell me over on Instagram (@iamnoravirginia). I love hearing what clicks!

In today’s episode, I’m guiding you through a powerful year-in-review alignment audit designed to help you consciously close out the year and step into the next one with clarity, intention, and self-trust. This is a grounding visualization and journaling practice to help you reflect on what truly added to your life, what quietly drained you, and what you’re ready to release so you can move forward feeling lighter and more aligned. Think of this episode as a sacred pause - a moment to zoom out, honor your growth, and intentionally choose how you want to feel, live, and lead yourself in the year ahead.

After listening, take time to journal with these prompts to deepen the integration:

1. What things drained my energy this year, and what am I officially choosing to release? (consider people, relationships, parts of your career/business, and inner workings + patterns)
2. What brought me the most joy, fun, or aliveness this year and how can I intentionally expand these in my daily life? (consider people, relationships, parts of your career/business, and inner workings + patterns)
3. If joy and alignment led every decision I made in January 2026, what would shift immediately in how I show up, spend my time, and support myself?
4. If I lived all of 2026 the same way I want to live January, who would I become and what would my life look + feel like?

Let this episode be your permission slip to choose yourself, choose joy, and move forward with clarity instead of pressure. Take your time with it, and if this practice lands for you, I’d love to hear what came up! @iamnoravirginia

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Sara Avant Stover for a conversation that is going to shift the way you see yourself, your business, and your inner world. We’re diving deep into parts work (also known as Internal Family Systems or IFS) - the modality that has completely changed how I move through triggers, make decisions, show up as a mother, and lead inside my business. If you’ve ever wondered why you “know what to do” but still don’t do it… or why certain patterns and fears keep resurfacing even as you grow… this episode is going to feel like a massive exhale. Sara breaks down the psychology, the spirituality, and the practicality of working with your inner parts in the most grounded, beautiful way.

Here’s what we drop into inside this episode:

1. What IFS actually is, and how it connects your human self with your highest, divine self
2. The difference between protectors, managers, firefighters, and exiles (and how to work with each of them)
3. Why your triggers aren’t the problem, but the doorway
4. How re-parenting your inner parts creates real self-worth, emotional safety, and new neural pathways
5. What to do in the moment when you feel activated, unseen, dismissed, or overwhelmed
6. How parts work helps entrepreneurs move through visibility fears, burnout patterns, undercharging, and people-pleasing
7. Why grief, heartbreak, and major life transitions (like motherhood or a big move) awaken the parts that need the most love
8. The truth about building a sustainable business that honors your nervous system, your rhythms, and your humanity

This episode is truly a warm hug for your nervous system — equal parts grounding, eye-opening, and soul-nourishing. If it lands for you, come tell me over on Instagram (@iamnoravirginia). 💛

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on part two of my quantum leap - the actual identity work that happened behind the scenes of my $33K week. This isn’t the polished highlight reel or a “just believe harder” conversation. It’s the real, messy, deeply human process of detaching self-worth from money, regulating my nervous system through a massive pivot, and learning how to lead, sell, and create from a place of peace instead of pressure. If you’ve been in a season of change, motherhood, burnout, or redefining success on your own terms, this episode will help you feel seen… and remind you that identity shifts are built slowly, not overnight.

Here’s what we get into in this episode:

• What it actually looked like to disconnect my self-worth from money, productivity, and performance
• How comparison showed up for me this year - to my past self, and to other moms and business owners
• Why I decided my identity and energy would be my biggest selling point (not strategy or messaging)
• The nervous system work that went far beyond breathwork and morning routines
• How prioritizing peace became my non-negotiable business and life filter
• The money mindset recalibrations I had to revisit during my pivot
• Learning to believe without evidence, and how to shift your self-talk when results haven’t landed yet
• Why detachment was the secret to showing up more powerfully and selling with ease
• How emotional mastery became a cornerstone of my identity shift and manifestation process

This episode is for the woman who knows she’s becoming someone new, even if the external proof hasn’t caught up yet. And if this conversation resonated, come tell me what landed for you over on Instagram (@iamnoravirginia). 🚀

In today’s episode, I’m cracking open a raw, deeply honest look at what it actually takes to Quantum Leap - and the identity shift that came before my $33k sales week. This isn’t a highlight-reel conversation; it’s the real behind-the-scenes of the death-and-rebirth season I moved through this year, the emotional unraveling that motherhood brought to the surface, and the inner work that had to happen before anything shifted externally. If you’ve been feeling stuck, stretched, or like you “should” be further along by now, this episode is going to feel like a permission slip and a wake-up call all at once. We’re breaking down what identity work really is (beyond the cute exercises on TikTok), how to identify the version of you who actually creates your next level, and what it takes to operate at that level long before you feel ready.

Here’s what we drop into inside this episode:

• The truth about “identity work”, and why it’s so much more than acting like your future self
• The death-before-the-rebirth season that set the stage for my biggest results
• What was really happening behind the scenes during my pivot, pausing masterminds, and burning down a 6-figure offer
• Why Quantum Leaps don’t come from one bold move, but from repetitive, aligned, stretch-level action
• How your beliefs, emotions, and results create a self-reinforcing loop, and how to break it
• The exact questions I ask myself before making any next-level decision
• Why comparison has been such a massive collective wound this year, and how to navigate it with compassion
• The real reason investing alone won’t quantum leap your business (this one’s a game changer)

This is part one of a two-part series, and part two goes even deeper into the limiting beliefs, emotional work, nervous system shifts, and inner-child healing that had to happen for me to step into this new identity.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a full behind-the-scenes recap of the weekend I led breathwork and meditation at a celebrity charity event; an experience that stretched me, expanded me, and reminded me how powerful identity work truly is. From how the opportunity landed, to the hilarious, chaotic, and totally magical moments that unfolded, this episode is such a beautiful reminder that your next level rarely shows up the way you expect… and always arrives right on time. If you’ve been calling in bigger rooms, aligned visibility, or proof that your work matters beyond the online space, this conversation is going to light you up.

Here’s what we drop into inside this episode:

• How the opportunity unfolded (and why it had nothing to do with followers or “being discovered”)
• The mindset and identity shifts that helped me walk into a celebrity event with full confidence
• The real story behind why I said yes — even though it wasn’t a paid gig
• The wild timing of the week, from childcare chaos to last-minute prep
• The moment during breathwork where I felt myself jump timelines
• A funny story about unknowingly sitting next to a celebrity two nights in a row
• What witnessing a $1.6M fundraising night activated in my bigger vision
• The unexpected ripple effects that showed up the second I got home

Take this episode with you as a reminder that your identity creates your opportunities - and that the more you trust who you’re becoming, the more life will meet you with aligned expansion. If this one lands with you, come tell me over on Instagram (@iamnoravirginia). 💛

In today’s episode, I’m doing something a little different, and SO special. I’m bringing you behind the scenes of my live It Factor workshop, where I interviewed two of my clients in real time about the identity work that completely transformed their businesses. These are raw, honest, real-life stories of women who stayed the course, reinvented themselves from the inside out, and created breakthroughs that didn’t come from “perfect strategy”… but from shifting who they believed themselves to be. If you’ve ever wondered what identity work looks like in action, or you need a reminder that your next level is a matter of INNER work before outer results, this episode is going to light your soul on fire.

Inside the episode, we get into:

• How Jonnemarie went from self-doubt, hiding on sales calls, and $0 months to five-figures, magnetic launches, and rock-solid conviction
• What actually happens when strategy stops working and why identity work becomes the missing piece
• The moment she realized she was the reason clients were buying… not the strategy
• How Meiling stepped into her psychic gifts, released perfectionism, and finally saw the results she’d been energetically aligned with for months
• The truth about “time lags” in manifestation, and how to not crumble when your internal shift shows up before the external proof
• How to stay grounded when everyone around you (even family) doesn’t understand your vision
• Why self-trust, capacity building, and conviction are ultimately what determine your income

If you love real, transparent conversations about business growth, identity shifts, and the behind-the-scenes of what it actually takes - this one is for you.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most real parts of the manifestation journey; that in-between space where your dream feels so close and yet so far at the exact same time. You know the one. The place where you’re doing “all the right things,” visualizing your future, working toward the goal… but your current reality still looks nothing like what you’re calling in. This episode is a full-on recalibration for that moment. We’re breaking down how manifestation actually works, why your identity is the real engine behind your results, why contrast is secretly your biggest gift, and the practical shifts that will help you get back into alignment fast. If your manifestation feels far away right now, press play immediately.

We get into:

• The real reason your manifestation feels “far away” and what that actually means energetically
• Why focusing on your current circumstances blocks your desired timeline
• How to shift your identity so you become the version of you who already has the thing
• A simple language hack to rewire limiting beliefs in real time
• The “open-eyes visualization” trick that makes manifestation easier (especially for busy girlies)
• Why contrast is not a setback; it’s your biggest clarity and quantum leap portal
• How to embody the emotion of your future now (even when the results aren’t here yet)
• What to do when you’re spiraling, stuck, or doubting yourself
• How to make your current reality feel good again so you stop leaking power into the future
